Literacy Centers

Our literacy centres continue to give the students practice at 
the skills we are working on in class.  This week they practised
their spelling words and word wall words (of course!!!).


We continued to develop our knowledge of point of view in stories.
Each group of students set up characters in the story of the birth of Christ.
Once their characters were set up, they chose one and wrote about that
character's point of view of what was going on in the scene they created.
I was sooooooo impressed at their ideas!!!



They used the i pads to photograph their scenes.


Another centre this week was to simply read...read by yourself....read 
with a friend...read to someone...just read!!!!



The highlight of this week was contraction surgery.  Students 
put on their masks, got their scalpels (scissors), cut apart
words and stitched them back together (with a band-aid) with 
an apostrophe to make a contraction.


Another successful surgery!!!!
